Honored Schools Launches January 12!
We’re excited to share that our school is partnering with Honored Schools, a program that celebrates the incredible teachers who make a difference every day. Beginning January 12, 2026, students and families can visit HonoredSchools.org to share a story about a teacher who has impacted their life.

Each “Honor Story” will be shared directly with the teacher and featured on Honored’s national Honor Roll. At the end of the year, 2-6 teachers in our region will receive the Honored Schools Life-Changing Teacher Award, which includes a $2,500 prize.

Keep an eye out for flyers coming home next week—and thank you for helping us spread the warmth this winter by recognizing our amazing educators!

¡El programa Honored Schools se lanza el 12 de enero!
Nos complace compartir que nuestra escuela se ha asociado con Honored Schools, un programa que celebra a los increíbles maestros que marcan la diferencia todos los días. A partir del 12 de enero de 2026, los estudiantes y las familias pueden visitar HonoredSchools.org para compartir la historia de un maestro que ha tenido un impacto positivo en su vida.

Cada “Honor Story” se comparte directamente con el maestro y se publica en el Honor Roll nacional de Honored. Al final del año escolar, uno o más maestros de nuestra región recibirán el Premio Life-Changing Teacher, que incluye $2,500.

Esté atento a los folletos que se enviarán a casa la próxima semana—¡y gracias por ayudarnos a difundir un poco de calidez este invierno reconociendo a nuestros increíbles educadores!

As stated in the Beneke Elementary Handbook, the latest time to check your student out for the day is 2:45 p.m. After this time, we will not release students, as our staff is focused on preparing for dismissal.

We appreciate your cooperation in helping us maintain a safe and efficient dismissal process.

Según lo establecido en el Manual de Beneke Elementary, la hora límite para recoger a su hijo(a) es a las 2:45 p.m. Después de esta hora, no entregaremos a los estudiantes, ya que nuestro personal estará enfocado en prepararse para la salida.

Agradecemos su cooperación para ayudarnos a mantener un proceso de salida seguro y eficiente.
